Thought it was a good time to start a progress thread. I have previously posted about my van (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=180567&hilit=Mk7+ticking#p1539667) and my failure to resurrect the 2.2 engine, it was the first time I had properly delved in to an engines internals and did learn a lot, just a little disappointed that I didn’t fix it. So I decided I would install the 130ps mondeo engine an idea that I found on this very forum, paul2012 has done the conversion a number of times and has been a great help to me given his time to share his knowledge so thank you paul2012. I had underestimated the scale of the job, and struggled to find the wiring looms required, but finally feel that I am making progress.
So a few pics up till now:
Dash and mk7 looms removed
Engine and engine bay loom being installed
Dash almost back in, still some wiring to do
Engine running finally after some issues with key. Mk7 van key didn’t work which I expected, I was sold a key with the new ecu which didn’t work either, but using forscan I successfully programmed a blank key to the van which was purchased off eBay for about £8.
Still lots of little jobs to do, mainly wiring mods and tidying up
